Alister is studying how businesses maneuver international trade policy post-Brexit and sees huge potential in his career as a policy consultant. With 3 years left in his PhD, his dissertation consumes most of his free time and he feels the pressure of mounting student debt... but he still wants to fold his passion for travel and desire to meet like-minded Europeans along the way. Often, his dissertation is on his mind to the point that he can be a little absent minded about details, he has been functioning with a touch of insomnia and is a touch color-blind.

When the strategy and research is thorough, well reasoned, and fiscally efficient. He also like to make his research approachable in layman's terms and to make people laugh in the process.
